Whom Does the Tariff Benefit {?

Philadelphia Record. ~
| John Sherman sawed the tariff limb on
which he had been perched close OFF al
the trunk when he confessed that 5sthe
tariff laws could not control the price OF
LABOR or of anything else. 1t has been
the staple argument of the protectfonists
that the tariff maintains the wages OF
labor, and that it alone prevents Amer
| lean wOrkingmen from descending to the
level Of the pauper lsborers of Europe.
But John Sherman takes the chief prop
of protection away when he admits that
| the tariff cannot control the prices of
anything, and that wages of labor, with
all other prices, are regulated by the
laws Of supply and demand.
If the tariff cannot maintain the wages
OF labor in the protected industries,
whom, then, does it benefit? Not the
farmers, who must sell their products In
the worlds market, and could obtain no
protection from the tariff were the rates
of duty never so high. Not the manu-
facturers, for, according to favorite
theory of protection, prices Of commodi-
ties are lowered by the competition
which the tariff stimulates. Certainly
| not the skilled mechanics IN the building
occupations, nor the bakers, blRcksmiths,
| printers, tailOrs, tanners ana shOemak-
ers. These have TO prOtectthemselves as
best they can, and know the tariff only
by its exaCtiOns Whom then? Not the
multitudes of workers engaged in trans
pOrtatiOn, nor the merchants, nor the
lawyers, doctors and teachers.
II these be not protected by the tariff
there remain the fortunate few who are
employed in the textile industries, in the
iron works and in the mines. In wooden,
cotton and silk factories the workers are
enabled only by the strictest organization
TO maintain wages of from Sc to $40 8
week, the purchasing power OF which is
below the average of wages in the same
industries in free trade England Go to
the iron and coal mining regions of Penn
sylvania if you would witness the results
OF the protective policy in its fullest de-
velOpment. There the miners, with their
meagre wages and precarious employ
ment, are subject not only TO the rapacity
OF the company store system, but to the
fierce competition of imported Huns,
Poles and B0hemians, who are eager to
snatch what corporate monopoly may
offer them, and who have become the
most turbulent element of the country's
population. In witnessing these results
from twenty-five years of protection it is
not strange that John Sherman should be
constrained to admit that his tariff divin-
ity is impOtent TO control the price Of la
Dor or Of anything else. 1t cannot do
this, but it is breeding in the United
States as dangerous prOlatariat as any
that exists in Europe,

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.

LIZ L ILOI OOIO AH LII A4N L ~
The excitement and furry created by
the discussion OF the proposed prohibi-
tory amendment to the constitution has
well nigh crowded from view the equally
important amendments to be submitted
to the people for their ratification or re-
lection, on the first Thursday N August.
Neither press, pulpit nor politician seem
to take any interest in the other five
amendments. Gentlemen whose patriotic
disinterestedness and eloquent unselhsh-
ness induce them to declsim for or
against the prohibitory amendment are
quite numerous: those who are willing to
take up the cudgels for or against the
other amendments ere few and far be
tween. We hear no talk of brewer
money or short-haired women trying TO
carry or defeat the proposed amendment
fixing the pay of legislators; no talk
about beer guzzlers or fanatics trying to
carry or defeat the proposed amendment
regulating the method of holding cleo
tions, and never a word is said about
hired politicians or en- lnsiduous priest
hood struggling for or against the pas
sa &c Of the judiciary amendment. And
yet, these amendments are of as great
Importance as is the prohibition amend
ment. Just as much eIoquenCe can be
displayed, just SIS much craftsmanship
employed, jus. as many patriotic out
bursts for personal liberty, and just as
many whisky bottles and rotten eggs can
be thrown over any one of the remaining
the manufacture or sale of liquor. This is
unfortunate. People will vote for
measures and make them part of the
organic law of the state with
out giving due consideration to
the Importance OF their boIlot. Many
no doubt will vote against wholesome
amendments just because they have been
wrapped up so entirely il the prohibition
idea as to lose sight of the rest. There
never can be q change proposed to the
organic law of the state which will not
merit the careful consideration of every
citizen VINO has the welfare of the state
at heart. To disturb in any wsy the set
tied laws and customs of the country is a
serious thing and should not be done IN
less it is clearly for the public good. II
it is for the public good then there should
be no hesitancy and no squesmishness
about giving the public the benefit of it..
People should not forget that in the com
ing election besides the prohibition amend
ment there is an amendment fixing the
mileage and per diem of Legislators and
increasing the session from sixty
to ninety days; proposed amend
ment disposing Of the University
lands; proposed amendment providing
for the assessment and collection OF taxes

amendment providing for the manner of
holding elections and q most important
amendment revolutionizing to certain
extent the judiciary system Of the state.
All. these amendments are of vital i'm
portance and should be discussed by our
prominent speakers where the public can
be enlightened and enabled to vote inte-
ligently.
There are many portions of the state
where the idea prevails that if vote is
cast for or against prohibition il is also
cast for or against every other amend
ment. This is an error and most per-
nicious error.
Voters should understand thst each
proposed amendment stands or falls
singly, alone and entirely detached from
all others. man may vote for any
number of the proposed amendments and
against any number of them.
The language of the amendments them
selves indicate this, but many entertain
the opinion that if they vote for one they
must vote for all. The prohibition
amendment will be disposed of by vot-
ing "For State Prohibition" or against
State Prohibition" the other amend
ments will be disposed of by voting "For
the Amendment to Section "a, Article 81"
or against it; "For the Amendment to
Article T." or against it; "For the Amend
ment to Article 4, Section g." or against
it; "Fo- the Amendment to Article s." or
against it, and so on through the entire
list. There is no connection whatever
between any two of the proposed amend
ments, this being q case where "every
tub must stand on it's own bottom"

orderly conduct. This does not surprise
any one, as 1t was expected he would re-
NIT them ere this" Why was 1t "ex-
pected," dear Light, if your municipal
authorities have been prompt to take
action for the arrest and punishment OF
those known or suspected of taking an
active hand in that egg throwing bust
ness" To people outside of SanAntonio
it looks now like the first attempt to
"arrest and punish" men for denying free
speech was all for buncombe. What has
the folly of prohibitionists to do with the
enforcement CT law and punishment of
lawlass men by your municipal sushori-
ties? Free speech in San Antonio is like
free speech in the cold country"-as the
government wills.

ROK Is THIiS2

During the session of the Police court this
morning q negro girl named Prairie Lee Steel
who several days ago was fined for vagrancy
and lodged in the calaboose in default OF pay
ing the fine, was introduced as witness In the
case. During her examination City Attorney
Warren asked her what she was doing-if she
was not laying out fine in the calaboose:
mo" said the girl, 81 am working at Alder
man HIPS"
Working your fine out there"
"Yes, cir"
This created a laugh in the court room, but
Recorder Cooper quietly put stop to 1t by say
ing that he did not see anything very funny in
the matter. The question that very properly
suggests Itself in this connection is, "By what
authority does member of the City Council
take prisoners from the calaboose and put
them TO work at his private affairs. II there is
any authority f,r this, every member of the
City Council will no doubt be going to the Gala
boose after cooks, house servants, Holsters,
etc Fort Worth Mail.
THE GAZETTE is not informed as to
whether it is usual for members of the
city government to supply themselves
with labor from the city's prisons, but it
does seem a very improper thing to do.
II there is nothing irregular in an alder
man utilizing such labor there can be
nothing improper in any citizen doing
the same, and if any citizen cannot be
allowed this privilege, why is it permitted
to Alderman Hill Do other members
of the city government enjoy this privi-
lege? If they do not, by what authority
does Alderman Hill! enjoy the monopoly !?
